About the Role

The Corporate Vice President, Expense Technology provides senior technology leadership for a major domain within New York Life's Enterprise Plan to Perform (EPP) transformation, initially focusing on Expense Management. This role is accountable for reimagining and delivering technology capabilities to understand, plan, manage, analyze, and act on enterprise expenses with greater speed, transparency, and intelligence. It requires a blend of business understanding, systems thinking, technology judgment, and transformation leadership to evolve the domain as a coherent capability integrated with the broader EPP ecosystem.

Responsibilities

  • Own the future-state technology capability for Expense Management across expense planning, forecasting, actuals, allocations, spend transparency, management insights, and related workflows.
  • Reimagine expense workflows using data, analytics, automation, and AI to reduce manual effort, improve transparency, identify drivers and anomalies, and accelerate management action.
  • Lead outcome teams addressing capabilities such as expense planning, expense analytics, allocation and driver transparency, vendor/spend insights, and workflow automation.
  • Ensure Expense capabilities integrate effectively with Planning & Projections, Performance Management, Financial Modeling, and NEXUS.
  • Own the target-state technology strategy and roadmap for the domain, including application, integration, data, analytics, AI, automation, and engineering implications.
  • Drive pragmatic use of rapid prototyping, specification-driven development, AI-assisted engineering, automated testing, and continuous business validation.
  • Promote systems thinking so solution decisions account for upstream and downstream impacts across workflows, data, architecture, security, controls, and operations.
  • Identify where generative AI and agentic capabilities can materially reimagine workflows, analysis, decision support, and execution rather than simply automate existing steps.
  • Maintain strong standards for engineering quality, scalability, resiliency, responsible AI, observability, production readiness, and technical sustainability.
  • Partner closely with NEXUS Technology to expose relevant expense metrics, insights, explanations, and actions through the common EPP experience.
  • Coordinate with Performance Technology on expense performance metrics and analytical relationships used in enterprise performance management.
  • Partner with Business Discovery & Solution Strategy leaders to translate future-state business intent into executable technology capabilities and roadmaps.
  • Partner with Solution Engineering & Architecture and Data Architecture to ensure domain solutions align with cross-EPP architecture and data patterns.
  • Lead multidisciplinary outcome teams and coordinate NYL engineers, forward deployed engineers, federated resources, domain SMEs, and strategic partner engineers.
  • Build trusted relationships with senior Finance, business, and Technology stakeholders and create transparency around priorities, tradeoffs, risks, dependencies, and outcomes.
  • Shape domain investment priorities, sequencing, resource requirements, and capacity plans based on business value, dependencies, risk, and delivery readiness.
  • Manage strategic technology and engineering partners as an integrated part of the domain team with clear accountability for quality, outcomes, and knowledge transfer.
  • Establish transparent measures of delivery health, adoption, quality, and value realization and use them to drive decisions and accountability.
  • Ensure security, privacy, controls, auditability, and operational readiness are incorporated from inception through production.
  • Build, lead and develop high performing teams with strong domain knowledge and modern technology and engineering capabilities.
  • Attract, develop and retain forward deployed and other high caliber technology talent, while building technology leadership and domain expertise across the organization.
  • Establish clear accountability and a culture of collaboration, innovation, engineering discipline and continuous improvement.
  • Lead effectively through both direct authority and matrixed relationships across Business, Product, Technology and partner teams.

Requirements

  • 15+ years of progressively responsible experience in technology, software engineering, solution delivery, digital transformation, or related disciplines, including significant leadership responsibility in complex enterprise environments.
  • Proven experience owning end-to-end technology capabilities or major transformation domains from strategy through architecture, engineering, implementation, and measurable outcomes.
  • Demonstrated success operating in federated or matrixed enterprises and influencing senior business and technology stakeholders across organizational boundaries.
  • Broad technology and engineering background spanning modern application development, APIs and integration, data and analytics, cloud platforms, enterprise architecture, automation, and emerging technologies.
  • Strong understanding of generative AI, agentic technologies, and AI-assisted engineering and their practical application to enterprise workflows and software delivery.
  • Experience leading multidisciplinary technology teams and managing strategic partners, contractors, and federated resources.
  • Experience operating within enterprise Risk, Security, Compliance, Audit, and control environments.
  • Strong analytical, communication, prioritization, and executive-influence capabilities.
  • Domain Technology Leadership - Owns the complete technology capability for a major business domain, not simply an application portfolio.
  • Technology & Engineering Judgment - Evaluates solution approaches, architecture and data implications, engineering tradeoffs, and production risks.
  • Systems Thinking - Understands interactions across process, applications, data, analytics, architecture, controls, and operating models.
  • AI-Enabled Transformation - Identifies where AI and agentic capabilities can materially change workflows, decisions, and delivery economics.
  • Executive Communication & Influence - Creates clarity, drives decisions, and influences senior stakeholders across organizational boundaries.
  • Strategic Planning & Execution - Converts future-state ambition into prioritized roadmaps, investments, sequencing, and executable outcomes.
  • Enterprise Delivery Discipline - Applies SDLC, Agile and Lean principles pragmatically with strong dependency, release, and production-readiness management.
  • Talent & Partner Leadership - Builds strong teams and integrates internal, federated, and external engineering capacity around common outcomes.
  • People Management – Develops and empowers talent through clear expectations, actionable feedback, effective coaching, and accountability, while fostering an inclusive, high-performing team environment.
  • Experience with enterprise expense management, finance technology, planning, procurement/spend analytics, or corporate-function transformation.
  • Experience reimagining finance workflows using analytics, automation, or AI.
